This is true. But also see a lot of five wide sets. How about 4 wides, TE chip blocks a DE and then is open underneath? This would have been a nicer play to watch then the interception in the fourth. Chan is great at schemeing routes where they confuse the DB's and then someone is left open underneath. Need to get back to that some.

I will bet you anything they dont win all 8 of those games. This is NOT the Steelers team of last year or their SB winning year.

I said it before the game, i wanted to see how Buffalo played on the road against a good team. They looked good in this game at times and others they looked bad. That goes for the entire team. Chan and Fitz looked suspect- to say it nicely. On the road you maybe wont get some of the quetsionable calls, and may have a few go against you. Also the crowd isn't there to help disrupt opposing teams chemistry. The Bills are 4-2. I am happy with that record, i think we all should be. And i by no means think this is the same type of team as 2008(The Washington Redskins of this year are that team). There is going to be some growing pains with a young team, one of the biggest ones is winning on the road. But the Bills played a good solid Giants team close. And if they can correct a few mental mistakes, they will start winning some of these.

Not really, to me it says- we have been hit hard at WR with inijuries, we also think we have a team here that can make a run into the playoffs. Oh and by the way we haven't been to the playoffs in over a decade. Wouldn't it be nice to give our fans something to cheer about in January?

Isn't Bells contract up after the year? Think they would keep Bell at LT and move Hairston to RT? Bell is a solid LT but by no means elite. Not sure what kind of money that commands, maybe 8-10mil a year? Play Hairston at RT for a few years under his rookie contract, then maybe you could trade Bell after 2 years for another high draft pick if he continues to play well. Maybe this all makes no sense, or i am off base.

This was my thought. It seems at times the team loses focus or almost goes to sleep, especially on offense. I know they have great stats and are puttin gup a lot of points-save the Cincy game. But the entire 3rd qtr against the Eagles the whole O looked sluggish, even the play calling. It is easier to turn the momentum with 70,000 fans cheering you on. They need to show they can do it on the road by themselves. To take that next step into being a solid, good team, need to win some tough road games.

This weekend is a big game for many reasons, but so far the Bills are 1 and 1 on the young year in road games. K.C. is one of the weaker teams in the league this year. Bottom third so far. Cincy is an average to good team. i see them as a middle of the pack team, with potential. To get to 10-12 wins, buffalo is going to have to show they can beat good teams on the road.

Got to say, pitt, texans, and jets dont really scare me much. Not syaing wouldnt be a tough game at all, but Bills have shown they can beat better caliber teams. Balt is the best team i think, or more complete team, good O and good D. The other teams all have weakness' and it will be up to Chan and his staff to exploit them.

Ha! I am built for comfort not speed!

Not sure how avaiable he is, but Bernard Berrian was a healthy scratch last game for Minny. Seems he and Frazier are butting heads.

I almost thought the end of the world was here, Crayonz posting a real thread?!? Then i realized, like the Bills, he has stepped up his game.

This team reminds me of the Chicago bears 13-3 year for some reason. When all the bounces and plays in the final seconds went there way. Could be 13-3 who knows really? For me, just focus on NY Giants. If this team takes it one week at a time and plays four solid quarters of Football, then they can win on any given Sunday.

Amen. I have said it before on here, Ralph Wilson noticed that the SEC has won or played for the National Chamnpionship the last 6 years. He went out and got a guy that knows the south inside and out. He also got a coach with a lot of Southern ties. Sorry to my northern friends, but football is king in the South. Give me guys from the SEC all day long, and i cant fault you. They see the best competition week in and week out. If you can be a stud in the SEC you will more likely be a solid player in the pro's then a guy from Big Ten or Pac Ten

Steelers dont scare me nearly as much as Pats or Ravens. For some reason the Steelers this year look average. Maybe as the season will go on the guys will get more focused. Butfor some reason right now they don't seem like the team from just a season ago. Not saying the Bills shouldn't be hungry or over confident against any team

it is a very old saying around football. i fyou rsafeties are leading the team in tackling it usually isn't a good sign. Not saying it means that buffalo's d is bad or that the safeties aren't making those tackles near the LOS or in the O backfield. Think about it, safeties are the deepest guys usually on the field ie why they are called safeties...last guy you have to beat to score. I am totally not argueing whether the Bills safeties are making touchdown saving tackles, just pointing out that it is a very old saying. Ask any coach or player the question, "what does it say about a defense if the safety is leading the team in tackles?" and see what they respond with.

Fitz Stevie Jackson Levitre All these guys have been getting a lot of pub from national media guys. Have heard Levitre being called out on more then a few occasions for good blocking during broadcasts. The D has no one on it besides maybe Barnett that anyone really knows. Byrd went 2 years ago but that took a sh*t load of interceptions.

I was watching NFL network last night and Steve Mariucci brought up a point. The lock out has hurt defenses more then offenses. I think you could arguee this especially for the Bills. A lot of new faces and the leader of the D is new-Barnett. Hopefully we will see this unit gel as the season goes on.

No question Barnett is a huge upgrade over Poz. Wilson is playing great ball as well. I think Vick had nightmares about #37 last night. And for the Merriman haters, he isn't making crazy money this year. He is being held every single play and never getting called. He is doing a decent job, no where near his 'lights Out' days. and He doesnt even play the same position as Poz

I watched those same games. Big UGA fan. But there is a reason guys like Eric Zeir, or Mike Bobo, or etc... didn't go on to become good solid pro's. It is a different game. Tebow is a great guy, have nothing but respect for him, but he is a gimmick. If Denver was smart they would work him in some. Use his legs more so then his arm. Goal line and short yardage situations...like Brad Smith. Exactly!! Goes to what i said up top.

What about Bernard Berrian? Tried looking up what he is getting a year. He signed a 6 year 42mil deal in 08. Seems like he is having trouble with Frazier in Minny. Deep threat send the 4 fourth the Bills got from Baltimore for Evans to Vikes for him? Crazy idea, right? Worth a phone call from Buddy?

That was the tip to me that they weren't going to run a play. I have seen this done a few times, Think Chan has done it while HC at Tech. If they had not jumped, you call a t.o. with one second left if you are going to go for it. Olineman sitting in their stance for 20 seconds isnt too good. Those big boys get tired quick. Just speaking from an old olinemans perspective.

This is not a playoff WINNINIG D. I thought this today after the game. Lucky as all hell, and i get luck is often the result of preperation and oportunity, but cant count on it forever. Best thing for us is the playoffs are 3 months away. Get better please D.

Spiller is still somewhat unknown. He is showing signs this year of progress. And Smith was not used enough against Cincy. he has gotten every short yardage first down he has been asked to- even jackson can't say that.

To the man that made wearing jump suits cool. God Bless and RIP.

I agree with this. say what you will about Ray Ray, but the guy is like having a coach on the field. He brings everyone around him up a notch. I dont necessarily like all his hoopla, but the guy backs it up. He brings 100% on game day, and demands the same out of the other 10 guys on the field with him. The Bills may have a guy or two like that on the team now in Fitz and Johnson. maybe Marcell can develope into a dominate player/leader on D for us too
